Obama to Host Mexican President at White House

After enacting his executive amnesty, President Barack Obama will host Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto at the White House on Tuesday, January 6.

The White House said that Obama “looks forward to welcoming President Peña Nieto back to Washington and working with him to continue strengthening the strategic partnership between the United States and Mexico and advancing our common goals.” Obama and Peña Nieto “will highlight the importance of expanding dialogue and cooperation between the United States and Mexico on economic, security and social issues, as well as underscoring the deep cultural ties and friendship that exist between our two countries.”

During his trip to California earlier in the year, Peña Nieto called the United States of America “the other Mexico” and demanded that other states “evolve like California” to give illegal immigrants, especially those from Mexico, more benefits like in-state tuition and driver’s licenses.
